GTP Nurburgring GP 100 Miles - (Gr.3) Finished.

[HoonigaN96]

Lol I'm in the 1:58's at BEST!

I've only done 1 race on these forums at Nurburgring GP in Gr.3 cars, but that was with SS tyres and tuning allowed, so that really isn't representative, down in the 51s and 52s, so I don't have a gauge of how slow or fast I am

 

[BigJimmy]

Are low 55s good on mediums?

Lol I'm in the 1:58's at BEST!

I'm getting mid 56's in the M6 with try hard pants on. Low 55's would be awesome.

Reality check... I got the wheel out of the cupboard last night and couldn't break into the 1.57's in race conditions. Oh well.

Hold on a sec, people are practising? Pretty sure that is cheating
Real racers just turn up on the day, drive badly, crash out and have a beer.

Haha! I may have been practising but it doesn't mean I'm really much quicker

Naturally, people practice for races, or heck any event ever!

Currently did 1:55s on Medium tyres.

I'd like to give this event a try, I've not done any endurance events, and the best I can manage on fresh mediums and full tanks is a mid 57, if someone a bit more competitive comes along I don't mind giving up my place.

I'll be using a livery created by jamie 995 based on the VW btcc.

Great. Thanks for your interest! Will add you to the entry list. Don't worry, all skill levels here. Your around my pace anyways (maybe a bit quicker lol).

 

[BigJimmy]

Im not so worried about lap times. For me its about keeping it on the track and working out what strategy to use.

 

[Lazybike]

As I've never done an endurance race before I've decided to go as fast as I can until the fuel warning comes on...then fill up, change tyres, and repeat till the end, main aim is not get lapped too many times!

 

[HoonigaN96]

I don't know how others feel but I'm thinking 3 stops on mediums or 2 stops on hards, otherwise you lose too much time with worn tyres or fuel saving

@paoloevans
I'd like to change to the Jaguar. I didn't like how the Corvette drove, it was slow(≈ 2 sec slower per lap compared to the Jaguar, with me behind the wheel), had worse brakes and 20% less range compared to the F-Type. Number is #77

I think you should pit 5 times.

Pull in for a KFC and a nice toilet break?
